This is something I’ve struggled with throughout my presidency,” said Obama. “The problem is that I’m the president of the United States, I’m not the emperor of the United States. My job is to execute laws that are passed.”

Ed,
I do not need to read Obama’s mind.
I watch Obama’s actions making end runs around Congress with his Executive Actions/ Orders on immigration,gun control etc.Obama thinks he above the Constitution and rule of law.Look at the court ruling about his “recess appointment to the NLRB.The court said his appointment was illegal.So Obama by his lack of action is telling the courts screw you I am above the rules.
there is no deception on my part.All of the deception is coming from the ass-hat that occupies the White House.

Fuzzysdad01, can you name for me that last three executive orders Obama signed? Can you tell me how they were not grounded in Congressionally-passed law? Can you name one executive order relating to guns or gun ownership in any way?

I know quite a bit out recess appointments, having had to defend Reagan’s recess appointments to the NLRB. What the court said this time is that, though no one was in Washington, really, and the Senate was conducting no business, they weren’t really in recess. It will be appealed. Reagan set a modern record for recess appointments at the time. Here, get some information on them.

President William J. Clinton made 139 recess appointments during his eight years in office, 95 to full-time positions. During his first seven years in office, President George W. Bush made 171 recess appointments, of which 105 were to full-time positions.

I know what Obama really means when he says He is not Emperor of The United States.
He wishes he was of dictator like his soul brother Huge Chavez.
He will not wait for Congress to act.
He wants to act unilaterally on immigration.
So it will add millions of people dependent on the government.
Those same people will in turn vote DemocRat.
No abuses of the First Amendment unlike you loony liberals.
You liberals are abusers of oxygen Conservatives could be breathing.
